Weekend Photo Fun 27, 28, 29

I’ve been doing some work on the park scene and also did some ballasting on the back side of the layout.

I’ve finished the stock yard for Diamond Valley and a loading ramp.

Wolfgang

Where’d you come from? I open the page and poof! there’s another post. Love the ramp BTW.

Just a joke shot from me so far. But some clientel is planning out their blueprint when the railroad gets to them. Nothing abnormal here…

Your park is getting better all the time, Jeff.

Woflgang, I knew you’d turn that ramp into something greater. Nice job!

Flash, it’s a cozy nook you have there. [:D]

Below, a Norfolk & Western Mallet takes the siding.

Hi all: A lash-up of EMDs, SD-45,GP-30, and GP-7.

Great work every one!

Grampy, I love the SD45 leading. [:D]

Here’s an Updated photo of my locomotive roster.

From Left to Right:

Athearn SW1500 1551, in superdetailing process.

Atlas Master SD35 2500, needs a few details.

Atlas Master GP40 3005, needs a few details.

Proto 2000 SD45 Ex ATSF 5547, needs a new number and a few more details.

Kato SD40 6001, needs to be “canadainized”.

Proto 2000 SD45 6505, needs a few details.

Proto 2000 SD45 6588, needs to be renumbered.

Proto 2000 SD45 6588, needs a few more details.

WCFAN,

In as much as all we ever seem to see from you are locomotive pictures, (And don’t get me wrong they are very nice locomotive pictures.) Two questions:

Do you actually have a layout?

Do you actually own any rolling stock?

I only ask because I have a friend from way back who collected HO locomotives and nothing else. The only layout I ever knew him to have was a circle of track on a plywood board, and I never actually saw him run anythin on it!

Great work here so far. Love the shots, grampys. Great work, wolfgang and Jeff. Awesome mallet, selector. Those are some mean lookin’ looks, WCfan. Very interesting, flashwave.

DJ,

That first shot is now my desktop background!

Everybody else… great work (as usual!)

-George

Good stuff already!

Crandall… I like the N&W loco. Feel free to tell more about it.

Grampy … Nice action shots!

Wolfgang … great scenes.

Jeff … that fence looks just right.

WCfan … impressive fleet

Flashwave… glad to see you have some good right-of-way.

That looks like a great room for a layout. I wish I had that much space when I was growing up. We had no basement or attic. I got stuck building my first ever N-scale layout in my bedroom I had to share with my brother [:-^]

Do you get the whole attic to yourself?

During the 4 months when it’s cool enough to make it up the stairs, yep. Though it is a lot of surface to fill for a first time layout. Hopefully Dad will be there for a long time

Just slap a window air conditioner in there and your’e ready to go! I’m sure Jeffery’s got an extra one laying around LOL.

You must be from the south. 4 months is a short time.

Shucks, that’s right. I can’t work for more than 15 minutes or so w/o breaking a sweat. Now you see why I have almost no layout now. I’ve walked away from what I was planning for the Indiana Southern:

Nice start to the weekend folks, there are some great pics up already.

I have been trying to get my camera down to ground level to see what impact that has on images of the models.

Here is a shot at the yard. My objective was to give the impression of being trackside in the evening.

Here was a similar attempt with a basic box car.

Awesome shot, simon.

Simon, nicely done!

Hi All: Great shots everyone. Pa&ERR, I’m glad you like that scene. That’s my favorite, too! Simon: I like to get low level shots, too, yours are great!

Nope, Indiana. So it could be anny season at any given time. And yes, it is a short time to do the work in. We’ve got one, and I have a track plan for going over it, problem is that the room just collects the rising heat, the roof draws it, and cooling the room proves to frequently be difficult.

Grampy: Ye, the Pennsy March turned out very well. great lighting

Selector: gee that pic looks familiar…

Granddaughter and cousins showed up and ran trains for the first time. They got one on the trestle and 2 on the bridge and thought that was cool.
